Availability means having an AIS ... three security properties, largely for technical reasons involving the formal verification of AIS designs[4]. Although such verification is not likely to become a practical reality for many years, techniques such as fault tolerance and software reliability are used to migrate the effects of denial service attacks. C. Computer Security Requirements The three security properties of confidentiality, integrity, and availability are acvhied by labeling the subjects and objects in an ...

The programs that run the computer are called software. Software generally is designed to perform a particular type of task. It prompts the user for input and commands, reports the results of these commands and other operations, stores and manages data, and controls the sequence of the software and hardware actions.

In other words, the designers of software can easily become the literacy and pedagogy experts of tomorrow. This is not to say that many educational products on the market today are not pedagogically sound or lack innovative teaching-learning methods.

SYSOPs must also worry about being liable to their users as a result of viruses which cause a disruption in service. Viruses can cause a disruption ...

Other "small time" hackers affect people just as much by stealing or giving away copyrighted software, which causes the prices of software to increase, thus increasing the price the public must pay for the programs.

The loopholes for hackers and freeloaders may be closing, however. America On-line is reluctant to discuss specifics of its counterattack for fear of giving miscreants warning.
